Powering On the Cache Expansion Array
If you have installed one or more optional Cache Expansion Arrays, you need to connect it to a
power source and switch the system on before starting the Archive Engine.
There are two power supplies in the Cache Expansion Array. It is important to connect both AC
receptacles on the power supplies. It is recommended that each of the power supplies be attached
to a separate UPS with built in surge protection and line conditioning.
Power on the Cache Expansion Array(s) by pressing the black power switch on the back of the
